Christchurch: After losing the opening Test against Bangladesh, hosts New Zealand bounced back in style in the second Test at Christchurch on Sunday. Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bowl. The hosts got off to a dream start as the opening stand between Tom Latham and Will Young put on a 148-run stand.
But, what caught the attention of the fans was a delivery in the 26th over which yielded seven runs. Young was initially dropped at the second slip and was then rewarded with an overthrow as he scored 7 runs in one delivery.
Here is the video of what exactly transpired:

After the catch drop at slip, Young and Latham ran three before the throw came in from fine leg. It was missed by all the fielders including the bowler Ebadot Hossain and trickled over the ropes.
Eventually, Young perished for a well-made 54. At the time of filing the copy, the hosts were 272 for one. Latham is unbeaten on 160* and looks good to get a double century.
